Head coach of Italian Serie A side AC Milan Paulo Fonseca will feel betrayed by the performance of Nigeria international winger Samuel Chukwueze in their first game of the Serie A season.
Milan fought from 2-0 drown to draw 2-2 against Torino, with Chukwueze who was the star of their pre season tour in the USA dropping a stinker that led to his substitution after 60 minutes.
The scorer of the winner against Real Madrid just two weeks ago , days after he bagged two assists against Manchester City was a shadow of the same player for the minutes he was on the pitch.
After the game , Italian dailies rated the Nigerian very low with a statement that he betrayed the trust the coach had in him to be one of their top players this season with his poor performance in the draw. The Nigerian was their record signing last summer, but struggled to prove his worth.
Below is how his performance was rated over ten captured by the leading dailies in Italy.
Gazzetta dello Sport 4.5: “What happened to the “Chukwu” admired in America? Just one shot wide. Then stops, passes, crosses: he doesn’t get anything right. Replaced due to exhaustion”.
Corriere dello Sport 5: “The will is always there but how many wrong supports” .
Tuttosport 5: “The handsome Samuel admired on tour has remained in the United States”.
